Kathryn Bracken
Compared to 100 years ago, society has made some great leaps. But let’s be honest with ourselves, there’s still a lot that needs changing. I want to help with that. As a social worker with a love for statistics and data, I believe the best way to make those societal changes is through empirical evidence. I am striving to make myself useful on a stage that’s becoming more and more globalized, and yet needs more and more grassroot-level innovation.
